X-ray free electron lasers (XFELs) are particle accelerators that create pulses of light of extremely short duration, similar to that of some lasers used in eye surgery. Combined with the X-ray energy ...

There’s a mysterious energy quietly influencing your brain. Could it explain where your consciousness originates?

Scientists have taken a major step toward mimicking nature’s tiniest gateways by creating ultra-small pores that rival the dimensions of biological ion channels—just a few atoms wide. The breakthrough ...

Ion channels are narrow passageways that play a pivotal role in many biological processes. To model how ions move through these tight spaces, pores need to be fabricated at very small length scales.

A rule-breaking discovery by Dean Christopher Schuh reveals a new way to strengthen metal in extreme conditions.

Traditional EV cells use a liquid or gel electrolyte, which is highly-flammable. So why haven’t we made the switch to solid-state batteries?

Quantum simulations are pushing physicists to rethink what it means for an atom to move. In new work on a quantum computer, ...

Scientists in Germany's Max Planck Institute (MPI) showed that metal surfaces can reshape what atomic motion looks like at the nanoscale.

We describe electricity as a flow, but that’s not what happens in a typical wire. Physicists have begun to induce electrons to act like fluids, an effort that could illuminate new ways of thinking ...

Although superfluids flow indefinitely, scientists just witnessed one stopping. It could be evidence of a superfluid ...

Finding a reliable moving company can make the difference between a smooth transition and a stressful experience. National movers serve customers across cities, states and regions, handling everything ...
